- the communication protocol relating to advertisement and collection may be packaged in accordance with a protocol called "UPnP".
- the application 212 corresponding to the operation of the remote controller transfers the content list request (Refer) 601A to the content access controller 202A.
- the processing collaborator 200A of the content access controller 200A secures a new entry in the status management table 910, sets "local” as the requesting party location information 915, sets “Refer0” to the state 913 and also sets the processing identifier 914 that is unique inside the processing collaborator.
- "Refer0" represents the state of a plurality of processing steps necessary for accomplishing the processing corresponding to the content list request 601A.
- processing collaboration routine table 920 is looked up, the processing is executed in accordance with the requesting device location information, the location information of the content file and the processing rule 924 corresponding to the request.
- Step 1 the processing collaborator 202 asks the network controller 20A a content list request that represents the list of the content files stored in the HDD 100 of all of the devices connected through the network (601B).
- the response to this request is received, it is possible to identify to which processing the response corresponds because the processing identifier 914 is contained in this request.
- the processing collaborator 202 sets the state 913 to "Refer1" in order to represent that Step 1 is completed (601B, 601C).
- Step 2 the processing collaborator 202 asks the list of the local content files to the content management portion and also requests the local content list (601E). The processing collaborator 202 then sets the state 913 to "Refer2" to represent that Step 2 is completed.
- the content management portion 203A selects the content to be displayed in accordance with the access level 406 of the content management information 400.
- "In-house” that permits access from the home network is set as the access level 406, the list having all the content files as the object is replied to the processing collaborator because this reference is the reference inside the same device.
- the user ID is set as the access level 406, it is compared with the user ID inputted by the user when the terminal is not used, and the list of the coincident content files is replied to the processing collaborator.

- the processing collaborator 202B raises the content list request to the content management portion 204B as Step 1 (601E).
- This request contains the location information of the requesting device and the processing identifier.
- the processing collaborator sets the state 913 to "Refer1". Because the IP address as the location information is not the address of its own device, the content management portion 204B returns to the processing collaborator 202B, as the list of the content files that can be utilized through other devices connected through the network, the information of the content files in which the access level 406 of the content management information 400 is not "Never" and "Internet”.
- Step 2 is executed as the next processing of the state managed by the status management table.
- Transmission of the content list is requested as Step 2 to the network controller 205B (602B) and the content list is reported to the television (602C, 602D).
- the content of the status management table 910 is cleared.
- the processing collaborator 202A Accepting the reply of the content list from the network controller 205A, the processing collaborator 202A selects the corresponding entry from the status management table from the processing identifier contained in the reply and executes Step 3 as the next step to the processing rule of the processing collaboration processing rule table from the state 913. In other words, the processing collaborator 202A reports the content list obtained by referring to the content management portion A inside its own device, the content list acquired through the network controller 205A and the location information to the application, clears the status management table 910 and finishes processing.
